Cindi Lauper: Blue Christmas

Cindi Lauper does such a great job with this Christmas song.

I can promise you Elena didn’t do her make up for her.  *I* might have, but Elena sure didn’t.   Slap a big turquoise on the lady…the bigger the better.  My role model.

Merry Christmas to all the Moonhowlings family!

Wayne Lapierre: Dismisses gun culpability


Lapierre has marginalized the NRA right down to an extremist group.  He has blamed Hollywood, the game industry, culture, but never guns.  Guns simply have role in the deaths of 28 people.  UFB.

I am not willing to point the finger and blame guns solely, but they certainly play a role in the culture of fear that runs through our society now.  Until Lapierre is willing to sit down and talk about solutions that restrict some forms of weapons and some forms of ammo, his organization is just a joke.  Perhaps he doesn’t speak for as many people as he thinks he does.

The NRA will have to get different representation if they want to have any spot at the solutions table.  They have lost all cred at this point with the majority of americans, if recent polls are any indication.

Revenge of the purged: The A-hole factor

Why do we continue to allow low-lifes like these to continue to collect a pay check?

Three back-bench martyrs of the Republican Conference sent a message back to  their leaders yesterday: Payback’s a bear.

Reps. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.), Justin Amash (R-Mich.) and Tim Huelskamp  (R-Kan.), all stripped of prized committee assignments earlier this month  because of perceived sins against the party, did a three-amigos end zone dance  as GOP leaders struggled and failed to get the votes for a tax-cut bill designed  to empower Speaker John Boehner in negotiating the so-called fiscal cliff.

All three voted against a related spending-cut bill that  narrowly passed earlier on Thursday.

Schweikert Tweeted that he would be a “no” vote on the tax measure.

And, after Boehner concluded he didn’t have the votes to move forward,  Huelskamp issued a fiery press release accusing GOP leaders of trying to bully  rank-and-file Republicans into voting for a bad bill.

Huffingtonpost.com:

Piers Morgan’s outspokenness about gun control has brought about a petition seeking to deport him from the United States.

The petition, which has been submitted on a White House website, has received over 12,000 signatures. (It takes 25,000 before the White House is obligated to address the petition.) The petition was launched by writer Kurt Nimmo. The text reads:

British Citizen and CNN television host Piers Morgan is engaged in a hostile attack against the U.S. Constitution by targeting the Second Amendment. We demand that Mr. Morgan be deported immediately for his effort to undermine the Bill of Rights and for exploiting his position as a national network television host to stage attacks against the rights of American citizens.

Morgan has made several forceful attacks on pro-gun advocates in the wake of the massacre at Sandy Hook elementary.
